America came out of the dark days of World War I and the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic with a roar. In fact, the decade that followed was called the roaring twenties. It was an economic boom time in American history, automobiles and air conditioning and a plethora of modern mass-produced conveniences rolled full steam ahead into mainstream American society. At the peak of this unprecedented time in American history, in 1927, this gorgeous Hamilton Grade 950 Model 3 rolled off the production line and was one of only 22,300 ever made. It features an Art Deco motif that was highly popular during the height of America's robust economic boom. The Hamilton Grade 950 movement is one of the company's legendary railroad grade timepieces, crafted from the finest materials in the hands of the best watchmakers in the world. The size 16 lever set movement features 23 sapphire jewels, a stunning 3/4 bridge plate, and is housed in an exquisite Hamilton/Wadsworth case with 10K gold fill. If you're looking for a watch that exudes the booming economy of the 1920s, the big bands, the age of the speakeasy, and the gritty days of detective film noir and real-life gangsters, this Hamilton Grade 950 is hard to beat. And as a railroad-grade timepiece, this watch was right at home on the steam-powered locomotives that moved American goods from sea to shining sea.
